Ford Patents Removable Roof

Not the current Ranger. There will be a new Ranger that debuts in late 2021 that is reported to share a platform with the smaller Bronco.

I’d love to see what it looks like.

Ford releases the Bronco with the 2.7tt, Jeep releases a 3.0t or 5.7/6.4

Ford releases colorful interiors, Jeep takes the Mopar experience inside

Ford has practical gearing for the Bronco, Jeep reduces the need to go aftermarket

Tic for tac

Just some Internet leaks and spy photos. Going to be an updated truck with all the safety functions as well highly functionable interior seating and storage. Will have current Rangers excellent drivetrain. I’d expect a Raptor option in 2022 with the 2.7 ecoboost.

Some comments on patents: the basic requirements for a patent is that the idea is unique in some way. Just because an idea is unique does not mean it will be good. Major auto corporations have literally thousands & thousands of patents that will never be used, except as a tactic to try & catch the competition trying to use them & take legal action against them.

PS: I have 7 patents

I'm actually kind of excited about the Bronco. My wife loves my JT and wants one when her lease is up in the spring, but I'm not having two of the same vehicle in my driveway, so thinking this may be a compromise and a cool alternative.

There is a ton of info on Bronco6g .com (for some reason this site blocks the URL). The rundown is Ford is planning on a serious Wrangler competitor with the new Bronco. Removeable top or panels and doors that can be stored in the vehicle, rumor is SFA (but I still bet it end ups being IFS), removable fenders, front and rear locking diffs, classic 60/70s retro styling, and the best part both 2.3L and 2.7L Ecoboost engine options which will easily outpower the Pentastar. Problem is it won't be revealed till mind 2020 and will go on sale fall of 2020 as a 2021 model

The new Ranger will be a year later, and will also offer a Raptor Ranger trim for the US market.

This is just a rendering of the Rivian truck as a Ford Ranger since Ford make a huge investment in the company.

There are 3 models of the Bronco, as well Motor choices.
Love my Jeep but if they come out with a V8 that's going to bite the big one.
On the good side, Jeep will have to step up their game or get left in the dust.

I don't think there be a V8 (sadly) unless they eventually decide to do a full size Bronco. Haven't heard any rumors of one recently.

I'd love to see someone do a full size 2 door convertible SUV. Preferable a RamCharger! I can dream . . .

If this happens Jeep will definitely be uping there game. It's just going to make the gladiator even better in the next coming years. Bring it on , I'm ready to see it's full potential.

Exactly! This is just the initial Gladiator, the water tester if you will. Nothing else will compare in several years
